    Chicken is tough and tastless

    I posted before about a bad experience i had. Today, my culling was perfect. However, I clean the way I've seen in ever video. I ice bath, defeather, and gut. I let it rest. Then I cook it and get rubber meat. Like, ever single chicken has been close to inedible. What am I doing wrong? I've...

    Bare Butts

    My father in laws chickens have had this issue for a long time. He has given them calcium via oyster shells and egg shells. But they aren't getting better. He tried antibiotics. I never asked until now because I just became a chicken mama and he wants to give me some chickens and I'm worried...

    Culling Gone Very Wrong

    Today was my third time culling. I didn't do anything different. But this time went terribly wrong. One chicken got out of the killing cone after I had halfway cut its head off and it ran back to the coop. It was traumatizing to watch, to be the cause of, and that poor chicken suffered. It...

    RED BROILER ST RUNS...Processing Age?

    So, I purchased the red broilers on accident actually. I wanted broilers, but not reds. I'm not finding any answers on Google about how old to kill them. I have found 12 weeks for Red Rangers, but not for red broilers. Maybe it's the same thing. The roosters are getting bossy and kind of mean...

    First time raising chicks...didnt know i should buy them sexed

    I think I have all roosters if that's possible. They all have prominent combs and thick legs and very dominant behaviors. I love them and I can't have roosters. Then I found out you can order chicks already sexed. I will next time, and I'm trying not to worry...yet. What do I do if they are...

    5 Week Old Chick Has Leaky Vent

    My 5 week old chick has had this problem where its vent leaks white liquid non-stop for two weeks. I've treated it for vent gleet because although that problem affects older chickens, I thought the symptoms fit. The treatment was epson salt baths, anti-fungal cream, and no antibiotics. After 10...
